Lemon Poppy Seed Bread #BreadBakers

When it comes to muffins, I’ll usually end up opting for another snack… unless they’re lemon poppyseed. Yum! I ate a lot of them in college because they were quick, cheap, and filling. Anything lemon poppyseed sounds yummy to me!

Allison knows I love these lemony treats too. So when she told me the theme for this month’s Bread Bakers was Seeds, we both knew I’d be pintertesting this lemon poppy seed bread recipe we recently pinned.

The recipe calls for a lemon glaze to be brushed over top of the loaf, with adds a little sweetness to it. It also gives it a pretty shine!

I’ve always found that when baking with lemon zest/juice, the lemon flavor kinda bakes away. The original recipe called for vanilla extract, so I opted to switch it out for lemon extract instead. I think it helps keep the lemon flavor present!

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme.

Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. If you are a food blogger and would like to join us, just send Stacy an email with your blog URL to foodlustpeoplelove@gmail.com

This is a pin-worthy recipe for sure. I can never have enough lemon recipes and combined with poppy seeds this one looks great! I will have to try it in muffin form next time. They would disappear quickly at my house.
